How Much Can a Subaru Crosstrek Tow?

Given the differences in engine capabilities shown above, the maximum towing capacity of the Subaru Crosstrek varies by trim. While a Subaru Crosstrek trailer hitch is needed to hook up a trailer, once you have installed this critical piece of towing equipment, the Subaru Crosstrek can tow up to 1,500 pounds with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and up to 3,500 pounds with the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine if you have the Wilderness trim. For non-Wilderness trims that have the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, the towing capacity remains at 1,500 pounds.
